@Lone:
The “ribbon-esque” appearance of v10 is nice, but the titlebar and minimize / maximize(restore) / close buttons? Ugh.
I know everyone loves skins, apparently, but I’d rather have my programs look like Windows apps.
I don’t suppose there’s any chance for a future version to have a “no skin” option which uses the default Windows methods?
You do know there’s a “Default Classic” skin option that goes back to default Windows-style titlebar and close/minimize/restore buttons, right?
@Lone:
Also, while the big fat Office 2007 style button at upper left is cute, you can’t close the program by double clicking on it, which also seems like broken behavior.
Confirmed.

@Socrates:
Don’t give me too much credit. I THOUGHT it could be done . . . but I had to check first to make sure.
Still, if david’s suggestion could be easily implemented for email and FTP, it would be a nice tweak. But I don’t know how easy it would be to do.
yes, but it takes a while for us to do it while you presented perfectly valid options to the user, so thanks!

@davidsplash:
… why do we really need an internal viwer…
Well, normally using associated applications would lauch an application which can do other things besides just show the contents. Remember the problems caused by the simple change to file extensions caused by the ILOVEYOU “virus” (.txt.vbs).
If everyone used a simple file viewer for email attachments as well as archive contents, it would have made this a non-event.
By default graphic files (gif jpeg) are associated with InterNet Explorer. This opens you to various virus/trojan attacks. And the various “helper objects” such as .scr/.vbs files are even more likely to be dangerous.
Using a simple viewer which cannot/does not perform any running/launching of the file is usually much quicker, safer and less wasteful of system resources.

This configuration could be useful, but is probably too complex for an “Express Lite” tool.
However, there have been rumours of a new PA backup utility coming - maybe enhanced filtering will be possible when that tool is available?
In the meantime, two workarounds occur to me -
Could you reorganise your environment to keep your source and object/bin directories completely seperate? This is what I did.
Disable the “include subdirectories” and explicitly select the folders you want to back-up. As this is stored in a “script” (the pbs file), it only has to be configured once. I do this now to exclude temp or cache files etc.
